Stepmother in charge: Making a fortune through farming and raising her children to fight back
Chapter 42 Buying Braised Pork Recipe
Yun Zhenzhen looked at the situation and couldn't help but twitch her lips. She still thought she was the victim of her original body? She always relied on her nephew for everything.
My own family is short of money, and my child can't even go to private school. Why should I waste money to send other people's children to school?
It didn’t matter what she spent in the past, she was kind enough not to ask them for it, but now she would not give the Yun family a penny.
Yun Zhenzhen said with an embarrassed look on her face, "Brother Jing, our family's situation is not good either. Your cousins don't have enough food to eat or to go to school. How can I have any extra money to give you?"
Yun Jing looked stunned.
In the past, even if my aunt had no money, as long as she asked, she would find a way to borrow or save it.
Now, he just wanted a few bundles of silver for the wedding, but he didn't expect that his aunt would reject him so bluntly.
Didn't I give you ten taels of silver right away? Why do you feel reluctant to part with it now?
What's more, in the past, whenever his aunt saw him, she would come up to him to show concern for him with a warm smile on her face. But now, she looked cold and distant. Although she was smiling, the smile did not reach her eyes.
He also heard from his grandmother that his aunt had changed and had a big fuss at home, not giving his grandmother face in public. So, did his aunt not give him face either?
Or will you become distant from me in the future?
The students standing by also understood that the woman named Gan Qing'er was just her married aunt, not his father or mother, and they started to criticize her.
"Brother Yun, your aunt is a married woman after all. She has her own family to take care of. If you need money, you should ask your parents instead of her. If your family is really poor, you can work and earn money in your free time instead of just asking for money."
"Your behavior is not that of a gentleman."
Yun Jing didn't think much of being criticized by his fellow disciples for being poor, because the Yun family was indeed poor. But when he said that it was not a gentleman's behavior, it was a slap in his face.
Yun Jing was still young after all, and her face immediately blushed with embarrassment. She said to Yun Zhenzhen, "Aunt, uncle really went too far and shouldn't have hit you. I apologize on my uncle's behalf, but my last name is Yun, and even though I'm married, that can't be changed. We are still family after all."
"We are related by blood, unlike those cousins..."
"Yun Jing!" Yun Zhenzhen immediately interrupted him loudly, "Mind your words. Isn't our blood relationship based on me paying for your education?"
Yun Jing seemed to be surprised by her words and stammered, "Aunt, I didn't mean that."
"That's not what I meant." Yun Zhenzhen handed the backpack to Qin Li and immediately started firing: "You said we were related by blood, but a few days ago, your uncle, who is also my good brother, smashed my head without caring about my life or death. No one in the Yun family cares about me, and you, my nephew, Yun Jing, didn't even come to see me."
"The entire Yun family didn't care about my life or death. It was those three children you called unrelated who saved me with just a little wild vegetable and a mouthful of soup."
"Otherwise, there would be no aunt standing in front of you. How dare you say that about my children?"
Yun Zhenzhen thought that her original self was very kind to her nephew and gave him all the good things she had. However, after traveling through time for so long, she only met him for the first time by chance.
I wonder if my original body would also be chilled if it were still here.
Yun Jing had never seen such an aggressive aunt before. He was speechless for a moment. After a long pause, he finally explained, "No... aunt, I've been staying at the academy and haven't been home. I only found out about this when grandma brought me food a few days ago..."
"That's enough. You don't need to explain." Yun Zhenzhen interrupted him coldly: "I've known for so many days, and you haven't even come to see if I'm alive or dead. The relationship between us has long been broken. From now on, just pretend you don't know each other."
After saying that, he pulled the children and prepared to leave.
"Aunt..." Yun Jing spoke weakly from behind.
"You are not allowed to yell." Little Qin Nan looked at him with a grin: "This is our mother, not your aunt."
Qin Li saw this and said coldly: "Don't follow me, or I'll beat you up."
Qin Wen rolled his eyes at him and said, "If you keep talking, you'll become a laughing stock in Xingyang Academy."
When Yun Jing heard this, he turned around and saw many fellow students staring at him at the entrance of the academy, muttering to themselves.
When I looked again, the mother and her two children had almost disappeared.
He had no choice but to stop. His aunt must still be angry with him. He would go and apologize after he had some vacation.
He then turned around and walked towards the academy. People around him pointed at him, but he pretended not to see them.
On the other side, Yun Zhenzhen had just walked across the street corner with her child when she was stopped by a middle-aged man.
"My dear lady, the braised pork that was so popular in Liuye Town a few days ago was made by you, right?"
Yun Zhenzhen looked the man up and down. He was dressed in silk, had a big belly, raised eyebrows, thick lips, and a sachet hanging around his waist.
Profiteer!
This was Yun Zhenzhen's first impression of him.
She smiled and replied, "The braised meat business is closed recently. You should look for another place."
"I'm not here to buy braised pork." The man looked at her with a smile, his eyes extremely flattering. "I'm the owner of Haokelou, Wei Xiong. I wonder if you are willing to sell me the recipe for this braised pork?"
Yun Zhenzhen didn't expect that after only two days of selling braised meat, someone would come to buy the house. It just so happened that she didn't have time to sell braised meat during this period.
Thinking that there is still a lot of money needed for the education of several children in my family, it is not impossible to sell it. I can find another way to make a living in the future.
Thinking of this, Yun Zhenzhen said politely: "It's not that this cannot be sold, but the price..."
Wei Xiong saw that there was a chance, so he immediately held up two fingers and said in a low voice, "I'll give you this number, what do you think?"
Yun Zhenzhen thought about it and realized that if she did this business, she would make a profit of nearly three or four hundred coins a day. Braised meat can be sold all year round, so she could make a lot of money every month.
It could only be sold for two taels of silver.
Yun Zhenzhen refused without hesitation: "Sorry, I don't plan to sell the recipe."
After being rejected, Wei Xiong's face suddenly turned ugly: "Don't regret it, young lady, no one else can offer such a high price as mine."
"Generally speaking, a recipe costs only one or two taels of silver. Since you are pretty, I am willing to give you two taels. I urge you not to be ungrateful."
Yun Zhenzhen smiled, not wanting to talk to him anymore, and was about to leave taking the child's hand.
When Wei Xiong saw that she was really leaving, he snorted coldly and walked away.
Qin Li frowned and said, "Mom, won't we sell it for two taels of silver?"
"Silly child." Yun Zhenzhen narrowed her eyes and said, "Our recipe is worth more than that."
The boss just reminded her that she wouldn't make much money just by selling the house, and she had a better plan.
